In her humorous, heartwarming Western romances, Geralyn Dawson creates characters we adore -- we laugh with them, we cry with them -- and, in her newest story, we wish like all get out we were them, as an independent widow and one hard, handsome Texan tangle, tussle, and tumble into love....

NEVER TRUST A WIDOW WOMAN WEARING A YELLOW DRESS...

That's what Captain Luke Prescott thinks when Honor Duvall, a vision in yellow muslin, steps outside the Bastrop Hotel to conduct the raffle drawing that has all of Texas talking. Mystery follows this thrice-widowed beauty like the hazy shadows of a summer night, and Luke, a renowned ex-Texas Ranger and bona fide hero, finds his professional suspicions aroused...among other things.

ESPECIALLY WHEN SHE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT SHE WANTS.

What Honor wants is Luke Prescott. With her family in danger, she needs the bravest man in Texas to help her save them. True, her plan to lure him to her remote ranch is a little unethical, but she'll make it up to him. Or so she thinks. Luke might be the one man Honor can't handle. He wants a prize she isn't willing to give. But Luke has the means to force her hand...because he holds the winning ticket in...The Wedding Raffle.
